St. Wolfgang Church

The Church of St. Wolfgang is the main attraction of Innsbruck, Austria. It is one of the largest and most complex architectures in the late Gothic style, a unique fortress church that has always attracted the attention of tourists. There are many wonderful stories associated with this church about its transformation into a pilgrimage center. The temple is the only one in which the devil is depicted on the ceiling.

The current church building was built in the XV century, impresses the late Gothic “lace” interior of the temple, it is painted in the Baroque style at the end of the XVII century. It is worth paying attention to the double altar, on the side depicts more than 100 figures, and on the main carved bas-reliefs of linden, cedar and spruce. This magnificent altar and pulpit were made by Thomas Schwandthaler and sculptor Meinrad Gugenbichler.The altar has been preserved despite many adversity. It was stolen in 1633 but re-acquired 16 years later.

This is a creation of art, preserved to this day. From the city side, the church facades have large windows with beautiful bindings, decorated with relief compositions that attract attention. You can visit the church in the warm season.
